Answer: Saddam Hussein attacked Kuwait, sparking the Persian Gulf War. True.

Explanation:

Saddam Hussein, the dictator of Iraq, focused attention on the Middle East when his army suddenly invaded tiny Kuwait on August 2, 1990. Kuwait had raised its production of oil, contrary to agreements with the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). The resulting drop in global oil prices offended the Iraqi regime, deep in debt and heavily dependent upon oil revenues. Saddam Hussein was surprised by the backlash his invasion of Kuwait caused.

By January 1991, over thirty nations had joined  Operation Desert Shield. Some nations sent only planes, warships, or support  forces, but sixteen, including ten Islamic countries, committed ground  forces. Desert Shield became Operation Desert Storm when the first allied cruise missiles began to hit Iraq on January 16. On February 28, six weeks after the fighting began, President Bush called  for a cease-fire, the Iraqis accepted, and the shooting ended.

Why were small states such as New Jersey happy
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

It proved equal representation in one house of Congress

Explanation:

The Great Compromise created the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House of Representatives would have representation based by population which was good for large large states with lots of people. The Senate had equal representation from every state no matter the population. This helped the small states such as New Jersey. New Jersey was glad that there was a house of Congress that was based on equal representation.

I NEED HELP WHAT ARE 3 Events during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius
Andrews [41]

Answer:

On August 24, after centuries of dormancy, Mount Vesuvius erupts in southern Italy, devastating the prosperous Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum and killing thousands. The cities, buried under a thick layer of volcanic material and mud, were never rebuilt and largely forgotten in the course of history. In the 18th century, Pompeii and Herculaneum were rediscovered and excavated, providing an unprecedented archaeological record of the everyday life of an ancient civilization, startlingly preserved in sudden death.

The ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum thrived near the base of Mount Vesuvius at the Bay of Naples. In the time of the early Roman Empire, 20,000 people lived in Pompeii, including merchants, manufacturers, and farmers who exploited the rich soil of the region with numerous vineyards and orchards. None suspected that the black fertile earth was the legacy of earlier eruptions of Mount Vesuvius. Herculaneum was a city of 5,000 and a favorite summer destination for rich Romans. Named for the mythic hero Hercules, Herculaneum housed opulent villas and grand Roman baths. Gambling artifacts found in Herculaneum and a brothel unearthed in Pompeii attest to the decadent nature of the cities. There were smaller resort communities in the area as well, such as the quiet little town of Stabiae.
